Because all scientific discussions on tweb about climate change takes place in Civics.

I've only been addressing specific claims by people here on tweb. In some cases I've even answered direct questions from you. I've tried to do so mostly by appealing to the evidence, or to explain things. I fail to see what is wrong with that Teal.

But you (specifically) do have the ability to sift through the evidence. At least judging by your posting you enjoy reading articles from Cow Poke and others. I also think you're good at asking critical questions. And its you I'm debating, not some faceless mass of people. I'm on TheologyWeb to argue with Cow Poke, or Sparko, or you, or seer or others. Not anyone else.

Hah!

There was nothing socialist about those mining companies closing up shop, or them refusing to open up again. The regulations on what mining companies could get away with rightfully got tightened, it became unprofitable for them to strip mine those areas. They closed up shop. They owe zero allegience to their workers, because in capitalism companies only have to care about their employees when they're running a business.

If you had more comprehensive social welfare there would be job training programs for those workers. There would be efforts to relocate them to other areas where they could be productive.

If Capitalism is so amazing, why didn't the companies do that out of the kindness of their hearts?

Um, restrictions are socialist... Government controlling the means of capital.

And if we're talking about the one I think we are, it was a public utility.

I really just meant to say I'll answer this tomorrow when feeling a bit better.

Alabama!
Trump faces 90 days in the slammer for his counterfeit weather forecast, we hope and pray!

“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” ― Anne Lamott
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

Your "actual point" is infantile, no surprise there, and does nothing to address the reality of global warming.

Did you have an actual point in here somewhere, or were you attempting to fit as many logical fallacies as possible into one sentence?

Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

When we lived in Tyler, there was a local ABC (I think) affiliate there where, apparently, people went to have their first experience doing the news or the weather or whatever. And we used to laugh because it seemed like the only qualification for a weather girl to be on the air was.. um... she had to be pretty and have... um... certain female attributes.

There was one young lady who had a passion for doing the weather, and loved to talk about the jet stream, and how "Today, we see the jet stream coming across California, then swooping up into Colo.. New Me... um... This western region.....

She was quite a show!

I went to college in New Mexico - an amazing number of people didn't know it was a state. Probably a few still think I was studying in Mexico.

When I was a kid, we had to learn something in skrewl called gee-hog-raphy. (or something like that) Not only did we have to find the states on the map, but correctly identify them, along with their capitols. Even that big'n up left of Canada, and the one way down on the bottom left corner of the map.
